What periods do these rings come from?

The pieces span the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, and later decades, with occasional Edwardian examples included. Mid-century and 1940s French designs dominate the selection, showing distinct shifts from art deco geometry to bolder post-war forms.

How do I care for my ring?

Platinum and 18ct gold mountings require gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush to maintain their brilliance. Sapphires and diamonds are durable stones, but regular checks by a jeweller ensure the claw settings remain secure.

What types of sapphires are used?

The stones include natural blue sapphires from Ceylon and Burma, alongside yellow, green, purple, padparadscha, and star varieties. Each sapphire brings a unique hue and optical property, influencing the overall visual character of the cluster or cocktail setting.

Are these rings suitable for daily wear?

The robust platinum and 18ct gold used in these constructions provide the structural durability needed for everyday use. Large cocktail designs and high-set clusters benefit from mindful wear to protect the central stones from heavy knocks.
